    This.

    Only one direction to worry about scrolling: vertically. So much easier than constantly sizing & resizing the forum on a mobile browser or scrolling sideways, etc.

    Another bonus is being able to use a black background with white text. Easier on my older eyes and it saves mobile battery life (as most dark backgrounds & wallpapers do) which us a nice benefit.
    If you can't taste the sarcasm, try licking the screen.

    I've had various iterations of the iPhone since 2007 or so, so I am well-versed in doing crazy shit with my fingers to optimize browser usage...I tried tapatalk at Brian Enos forums and it completely turned me off of the software.

    Yes. I use it every day. I prefer to read some forums with it because of its "latest posts" feature.

    + 1. I find it much easier and faster than the browser. Of course my phone is kind of a POS so YMMV.

    I find is easier to use TT for most things. It still has some quirks. But it is usually faster and has a better UI (especially for posting). Even on my iPad, which has a plenty big enough screen for forum browsing, I prefer using TT.

    IPhone user here, TT is great for the brief moments I can check in on forums at work.

    I prefer Opera Mini for smartphones. All the forum functionality but sized for the smaller screen.

    I don't remember how much it was, but it was less than $3 and it has been worth it so far. The feature I like the most is multiple forums right out of one app.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.
